Narwhals are marine mammals that live in the Arctic Ocean. They are known as the "unicorns of the sea" due to their long spiral tusk. Males use their tusks for fighting and display, with tusks growing up to 9 feet long. Some early observers thought narwhals were mythical because of their unusual tusk, but they are in fact real animals. Narwhals live in the Arctic Ocean and migrate within its shallow and deep waters. Their diet consists primarily of squid, flatfish, and Greenland halibut. With a population of over 4,000, narwhals are not currently endangered but are preyed upon by other Arctic species.
